Any recommendations for recordings of Shostakovich's 8th symphony?
Thank you.

Charles

Ploughing (plowing?) a very lonely furrow live and on record I would go
for Ladislav Slovak but there again the percussion occasionally plough
(plow) lonely furrows in all 15.

Cannot say about any recording he may have made but based on (two)
personal live experiences I don't think the composers son has the
slightest idea about it.

Kind regards,
